The Tack Room X White Pheasant

In an exciting first, The Tack Room is really looking forward to hosting the start, of hopefully many, collaboration experiences for our guests.

On the 21st of May, our kitchen will be buzzing as our team which includes award-winning Head Chef Adam Spicer as well as Lewis Ryan teams up with Calvin Holland, who oversees things at the dual AA Rosette holding White Pheasant, for an evening of great food.

These culinary brains have collaborated and come up with a menu that includes four snacks and four courses for what promises to be one tasty night at £49 per person.

“We’ve got a great relationship with Calvin and when the idea of doing the collaborations came about we knew who to call for the first one. Calvin’s going to be doing two courses and two snacks and we’ll do the same,” chef Adam, who won Chef of the Year at the Cambridge Food and Drink Awards last year, said ahead of #TheTackRoomXWhitePheasant collaboration.

“It offers something different to the people of Newmarket and it’s a joining together of our ideas that will come up with a unique dining experience.”

The thinking behind these collaborations was inspired by the recent trend for big name chefs hosting collaboration evenings, one of which was between Daniel Clifford of Midsummer House in Cambridge and Tom Sellers of Restaurant Story in London, that Vincent and Lewis dined at. If it’s good enough for the big boys then why not Newmarket and all the local talent we have to offer?

In addition to this we feel there has been a big shift among restaurant owners in our area with the move away from fierce competition and now there’s more of a sense of community with owners and chefs alike supporting one another’s establishments.

As the Head Chef and Patron at the White Pheasant, Holland has ensured that his establishment has maintained seriously high standards, as one does when awarded two AA Rosettes. Having trained at the White Pheasant in 2005, Holland has gone on to cook at several of the UK’s finest multi-rosette and Michelin star restaurants before returning to the White Pheasant in August 2013.

We’realso sticking to our guns when it comes to sourcing the best local ingredients to go into the dishes.

“For us in the kitchen it will be fun, we’re sourcing all local ingredients, supporting each other and we’re really looking forward to working together,” added chef Adam.

“It’s an opportunity to sample unique food and to taste dishes from two chefs in one venue. It’s also excellent value for money if you look at the menu and what’s being offered.

There are still a few tables going for #TheTackRoomXWhitePheasant collaboration and seats can be booked by calling us on 01638 666390 or via email at thetackroompalacehouse@gmail.com.
